LOUIE BOSSI'S RISTORANTE BAR PIZZERIA REVIEWS

We've dined at Louie Bossi's on multiple occasions now and each time they provide consistently top notch service and delicious meals! The waitstaff have always been pleasant and professional. The warm bread and olive oil is a great start and every item that follows is wonderful.

Great experience at this restaurant!! Very friendly staff, and quick to seat us! The server was prompt and answered any questions we had. The appetizers came out promptly, along with our food. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. I would definitely stop by the next time I’m in the area.

I absolutely love eating here as well as my family! We are regulars because we eat here at least 3-4 times a month. Everything is absolutely delicious! My favorite is the branzino. I love sitting at the bar when Jennifer is working. She’s so amazing at what she does. She makes the best drinks, she’s fast and super friendly. I definitely recommend coming here to eat to everyone :).

ANTHONY'S RUNWAY 84 REVIEWS

I have been wanting to come here since they reopened to see the renovations and the place looks great. We sat on the Dan Marino area. The food portions were very large so we have plenty for lunch tomorrow too. The meatballs appetizer was enough for 4 of us and delicious. The new Cypress room looked great but seems it may be louder. I took customers here that became friends over the many years to l celebrate her birthday. The cannoli was great and loved the firework lights! Can't wait to come back.

The Chicken Parmesan was absolutely phenomenal—tender, perfectly breaded, and drenched in a rich, flavorful Vodka sauce, the sauce was creamy, perfectly balanced, and had just the right amount of tang. It elevated the whole meal to another level. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff was attentive, and the overall vibe was just perfect for a cozy night out. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic, delicious Italian food! Will definitely be coming back.

Like walking in to a Vintage New York City Supper Club. I cannot say enough about the beautiful atmosphere, the fantastic service, the delicious food, and the Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin inspired music. It was a perfect evening. It was my first time and I will absolutely go back again and again and again.

CAFE MARTORANO REVIEWS

Me and my friends had an awesome time at Martorano’s. The service was excellent from start to finish — super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was really good too, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere had a great energy and made the whole night even better. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in town. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun spot with great food and service.

The BEST atmosphere EVER for date night. It’s a full blown loud club music settings with lights and the best jams ever. Great music mix. Took me back. All the hits. Food was very good too. High quality. Service was excellent too! What a once in a lifetime experience.

Everything was Great as it always is. The wait staff was amazing and the food cooked to perfection. From someone that's been going there over 25 years. I give it my Highest recommendation.
